Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431

“Got it, Mom. I’ll head back now. If anything comes up, just give me a call.”

Grace flashed her a quick “OK” gesture, then quietly watched the two of them leave the room.

Only after they’d completely disappeared from sight did she turn back to stare blankly at the bowl in front of her.

She hadn’t missed the awkwardness on Aurora’s face earlier–truth be told, she just didn’t want to confront it.

But she genuinely didn’t want her two daughters turning against each other. And at this point, she didn’t even know how to fix it.

The thought alone gave her a headache.

Both daughters were really reflections of herself.

They were stubborn and proud.

Neither of them was willing to back down.

Otherwise, this whole situation could’ve been resolved so easily.

All it would take was for one of them to lower her head and admit fault, and the rest would fall into place.

Grace sighed heavily.

When her assistant walked in, he caught the sound of that sigh and immediately picked up on her mood.

As her executive aide, of course he wanted to help ease her burdens.

“Madam Grace, what’s wrong? Why the heavy sigh?”

Seeing it was Jason, Grace actually spoke a little more than usual.

“My two daughters are too proud for their own good. This kind of temperament, ugh…”

Jason could tell right away what she meant.

But at the end of the day, this was a family matter.

No matter how much he might want to step in, he had no standing to do so.

When Grace noticed his silence, she started to feel a bit deflated.

She had said so much, but he didn’t even respond–not a word of comfort and suggestion.

That thought alone left her feeling utterly drained.

Why was she always surrounded by people who didn’t know how to talk?

Next time she had the chance, Grace was determined to do a full reset of the people around her.

“Alright, stop standing there. If there’s nothing else, go find the doctor and get my medication.”

Grace didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer. It was a waste of time, and the treatment wasn’t doing her much good.

All they ever told her was to rest and take it easy.

Nothing beyond that. No real care, nothing truly helpful.

Besides, all those so–called supplements were all things she had at home anyway.

And she had enough of the constant smell of disinfectant.

Jason, however, was worried about her health.

She’d only just regained consciousness–what if something happened after discharge?

Then what? What would happen to his job? Could he even keep it?

That thought only made him more anxious.

“Madam Grace, why not stay a few more days? This really feels too risky.”

He tried again to reason with her. “You only just woke up–don’t you think this is a bit too soon?”

“I said I’m fine.”
